EPs that are really F*cking awesome

music_phantom13 · 11-27-2009, 03:36 PM

At The Drive-In have quite a few quality EPs. I was listening to El Gran Orgo earlier... it's another great one. Same goes for Stereolab. Also, there were more than a few kick ass no wave EPs, Mars, DNA, Swans, and Teenage Jesus & The Jerks (who only ever released EPs).

And of course:

Really surprised no one mentioned that one yet. I'm sure that's got to be one of the best EPs ever.

It would have been in one of my first few posts if there wasn't a 4-image limit. I have no excuse for not posting it in another post, though.

To be fair I was surprised at myself as well, for some reason it didn't come to mind when I thought of good EPs. I guess for some strange reason I consider it an album, dunno why.

High Places s/t EP kicks ass.

and Xiu Xiu - Chapel of the Chimes

Great album but it's a full-length not an EP. A short full-length to be sure but still a full-length.

the first release by boy problems 2.0, boys & sex EP, is my personal EP of the year.

Representin' da mainstream!

Has two of their best songs on it and just generally kicks ass.

Just two songs but they encapsulate the vibe of a lazy summer afternoon better than anything else I've heard (short of Cesaria Evora). I crank it up every July and almost cry from the melancholy.

The only thing they put out, a pretty awesome bit of dance punk.

Has two of their best songs, Drops in the river and Mykonos.

In the reins - Iron & Wine and Calexico

Was lucky enough to see them tour it. One of the best gigs of my life. Don't much care for his solo stuff but this is sublime.

Delorean - Aerton Senna

Really made my summer. Sweet indie-electro.

This thread is just riddled with great releases.

This is probably my favorite thing they've done.

Captures some of the best early stuff and of what is to follow.

The cover is, but I copied the wrong art work... Here it is.

All their stuff is great though
